Super Eagles player Alex Iwobi has launched a temporary store in East London to help families in need this Christmas. The shop, named ‘Alexpress’, offered free food, including turkeys, to those having difficulty affording their festive meals. The 28-year-old credited his parents for teaching him the importance of generosity. In the home where I grew up, my dad naturally returned the favor. He mentioned to BBC Sport Africa that he would buy bottles of water and distribute them to neighbors, reaching out to people in Nigeria, his family, and even strangers. “Watching my parents has motivated me to help others, regardless of their circumstances,” he said. Given my current position, I believe it’s only fair to use my influence to contribute positively. Iwobi is expected to play when Fulham faces Chelsea in a London derby on Boxing Day. The adaptable midfielder has netted five goals in the Premier League this season. By Adeboye Amosu. Do you have what it requires? Forecast and Earn Millions Today. Sign up now.
